Specific methods for optimizing foaming process using thermally sensitive delayed catalysts

2月 14th, 2025 News

Introduction

The foaming process is widely used in modern industry, and efficient foaming technology is inseparable from all fields such as building materials, packaging materials, automotive interiors, electronic products, etc. Foaming materials have become an important raw material in many industries due to their excellent properties such as lightweight, thermal insulation, sound insulation, and buffering. However, traditional foaming processes often have some limitations, such as difficult to control the foaming speed, uneven cell structure, and unstable product performance. These problems not only affect the quality and production efficiency of the product, but also increase production costs.

To overcome these challenges, researchers continue to explore new techniques and methods to optimize the foaming process. Among them, thermally sensitive delay catalysts are gradually attracting widespread attention as an emerging solution. Thermal-sensitive delay catalyst can be activated within a specific temperature range, thereby accurately controlling the start time and rate of foaming reactions, thereby improving the cell structure and final performance of the product. Compared with traditional catalysts, thermally sensitive delay catalysts have higher selectivity and controllability, which can effectively avoid premature or late foaming reactions and ensure the stability and consistency of the foaming process.

This article will discuss in detail how to use thermally sensitive delay catalysts to optimize the foaming process, including its working principle, application scope, specific implementation methods, and its impact on product quality and production efficiency. The article will also combine new research results at home and abroad, citing relevant literature, and provide detailed experimental data and product parameters to help readers fully understand the new progress in this field.

The working principle of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

Thermal-sensitive delay catalyst is a chemical substance that can be activated within a specific temperature range. Its main function is to optimize the foaming process by adjusting the start time and rate of the foaming reaction. Unlike traditional catalysts, thermally sensitive delayed catalysts are temperature sensitive and the catalyst will be activated only when the ambient temperature reaches a certain critical value, thereby triggering the foaming reaction. This characteristic allows the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst to achieve more precise time and space control during foaming, avoiding uncontrollable factors that may be brought about by traditional catalysts.

1. Temperature sensitivity

The core characteristic of the thermally sensitive delay catalyst is its temperature sensitivity. The activity of the catalyst is closely related to the temperature it is located, and is usually kept inert at low temperatures and gradually activated as the temperature rises. This temperature dependence can be achieved through the chemical structure design of the catalyst. For example, some thermosensitive delay catalysts contain pyrolysis compounds that are stable at room temperature but decompose at high temperatures, releasing active ingredients, thereby starting the foaming reaction. Common pyrolytic compounds include organic peroxides, amide compounds, etc.

In addition, some thermally sensitive delay catalysts fix the active ingredients on the support through physical adsorption or embedding. Only when the temperature rises, the active ingredients will be released from the support and participate in the foaming reaction . This mechanism can effectively extend the delay time of the catalyst,Keep the foaming reaction started at the right time.

2. Delay effect

Another important characteristic of a thermally sensitive delay catalyst is its delay effect. The so-called delay effect means that the catalyst will not trigger a foaming reaction for a period of time before activation, but will remain in an inert state. This delay effect can provide sufficient time window for the processing and forming of foamed materials to avoid premature foaming reactions causing material deformation or defects. The length of the delay time depends on the type of catalyst and the conditions of use, and can usually be controlled by adjusting the concentration, temperature or other process parameters of the catalyst.

Study shows that appropriate delay times can significantly improve the quality of foamed materials. For example, during injection molding, the delay effect can ensure that the molten material is fully filled in the mold and then foamed, thereby achieving a uniform cell structure and good surface quality. During the extrusion molding process, the delay effect can prevent the material from foaming in the extruder in advance, avoiding clogging the equipment or producing bad products.

3. Activation mechanism

The activation mechanism of the thermosensitive delay catalyst mainly includes three methods: pyrolysis, diffusion and chemical reaction. Among them, pyrolysis is one of the common activation methods. The pyrolysis catalyst will decompose at high temperatures, forming active free radicals or other reactive species, which will induce foaming reactions. For example, organic peroxides decompose into free radicals at high temperatures, which can react with foaming agents to form gases and form bubble cells.

Diffusion is another common activation mechanism. Certain thermally sensitive delay catalysts immobilize the active ingredient on the support through physical adsorption or embedding. Only when the temperature rises will the active ingredient diffuse out of the support and enter the foaming system. The diffusion rate depends on factors such as temperature, pore structure of the carrier, and molecular size of the active ingredient. Studies have shown that the delay time of diffusion catalysts is relatively long and suitable for foaming processes that require a longer time window.

Chemical reactions are also an activation mechanism of thermally sensitive delay catalysts. Some catalysts undergo chemical changes at high temperatures to generate new active substances, thereby starting the foaming reaction. For example, some metal salt catalysts will undergo hydrolysis reactions at high temperatures to form acidic substances, thereby promoting the decomposition of foaming agents. This chemical reaction catalyst has a high activation temperature and is suitable for high-temperature foaming processes.

Application range of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

Thermal-sensitive delay catalyst is widely used in the preparation process of various foaming materials due to its unique temperature sensitivity and delay effect. Depending on different application scenarios and material types, thermally sensitive delay catalysts can be divided into the following categories:

1. Polyurethane foam

Polyurethane foam (PU foam) is currently one of the widely used foaming materials, and is widely used in the fields of building insulation, furniture manufacturing, automotive interiors, etc. During the polyurethane foaming process, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst can effectively control isocyanate and polyolThe reaction rate ensures that the foaming reaction is carried out at the appropriate temperature and time. Studies have shown that the use of thermally sensitive delay catalysts can significantly improve the cell uniformity and mechanical strength of polyurethane foams while reducing surface defects and bubble residues.

2. Polyethylene foam

Polyethylene foam (EPS/PS foam) is a lightweight foam material with excellent thermal insulation performance, which is widely used in packaging, building materials and other fields. During the polyethylene foaming process, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst can effectively control the polymerization rate of ethylene monomers to ensure that the foaming reaction is carried out within the appropriate temperature and time. Studies have shown that the use of thermally sensitive delay catalysts can significantly improve the cell uniformity and dimensional stability of polyethylene foam while reducing surface defects and bubble residues.

Metal Salts 110-130 15-20 70-90 98-100

3. Polypropylene foam

Polypropylene foam (PP foam) is a foaming material with good heat resistance and chemical stability, and is widely used in automotive parts, electronic equipment and other fields. During the polypropylene foaming process, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst can effectively control the polymerization rate of propylene monomers to ensure that the foaming reaction is carried out within the appropriate temperature and time. Studies have shown that the use of thermally sensitive delay catalysts can significantly improve the cell uniformity and mechanical strength of polypropylene foam while reducing surface defects and bubble residues.

Amides 90-110 10-15 60-80 1.4-1.8
Metal Salts 110-130 15-20 70-90 1.6-2.0

4. Other foaming materials

In addition to the above common foaming materials, thermistor catalyst can also be used in other types of foaming materials, such as polyvinyl chloride foam (PVC foam), polyethylene foam (PE foam), etc. Selecting the appropriate thermally sensitive delay catalyst can significantly improve the performance and quality of foamed materials according to the characteristics and application needs of different materials. For example, in PVC foam, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst can effectively control the polymerization rate of vinyl chloride monomers to ensure that the foaming reaction is at the right temperatureand time, so as to obtain uniform cell structure and good mechanical properties.

Specific methods for optimizing foaming process using thermally sensitive delay catalysts

The key to optimizing the foaming process with thermally sensitive delayed catalysts is to reasonably select the type of catalyst, adjust the process parameters and optimize the formulation design. The following are the specific implementation methods:

1. Select the right catalyst

Selecting the appropriate thermally sensitive delay catalyst is the first step in optimizing the foaming process according to the type of foaming material and application needs. Different types of foaming materials have different requirements for catalysts, so it is necessary to select appropriate catalysts based on factors such as the chemical properties, foaming temperature, foaming rate, etc. For example, for polyurethane foam, organic peroxides or amide compounds can be selected as catalysts; while for polyethylene foam, metal salt catalysts can be selected. In addition, factors such as the cost, environmental protection and safety of the catalyst need to be considered to ensure its feasibility and sustainability in practical applications.

2. Adjust the catalyst concentration

Catalytic concentration is one of the important factors affecting the foaming process. Excessively high or too low catalyst concentration will lead to poor foaming effect, so the best catalyst dosage needs to be determined through experiments. Generally speaking, the higher the catalyst concentration, the shorter the start time of the foaming reaction, but excessively high catalyst concentration may lead to excessively violent foaming reactions, resulting in a large number of bubbles and defects. On the contrary, too low catalyst concentration may lead to incomplete foaming reactions and affect the final performance of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance point through experiments, which can not only ensure the smooth progress of the foaming reaction, but also obtain ideal cell structure and mechanical properties.

Table 4: Effects of different catalyst concentrations on foaming effect

Catalytic concentration (wt%) Foaming time (s) Cell density (pieces/cm³) Mechanical Strength (MPa)
0.5 60 40 0.8
1.0 45 60 1.2
1.5 35 70 1.5
2.0 30 80 1.8
2.5 25 90 2.0

3. Control the foaming temperature

Foaming temperature is another important factor affecting the foaming process. The activation temperature of the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst determines the start time of the foaming reaction, so it is necessary to select an appropriate foaming temperature according to the characteristics of the catalyst. Generally speaking, the higher the foaming temperature, the faster the activation speed of the catalyst, and the shorter the start time of the foaming reaction; conversely, the lower the foaming temperature, the slower the activation speed of the catalyst, and the longer the start time of the foaming reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate foaming temperature according to the activation temperature range of the catalyst and the characteristics of the foaming material to ensure that the foaming reaction is carried out under optimal conditions.

90 45 60 1.2
100 35 70 1.5
110 30 80 1.8
120 25 90 2.0

4. Optimize formula design

In addition to selecting the appropriate catalyst and adjusting process parameters, optimizing the formulation design is also an important means to improve the performance of foamed materials. By reasonably combining foaming agents, plasticizers, stabilizers and other auxiliary agents, the cell structure and mechanical properties of foaming materials can be further improved. For example, in polyurethane foam, adding an appropriate amount of plasticizer can reduce the glass transition temperature of the material, improve the fluidity of the foaming reaction, and obtain a more uniform cell structure; while in polyethylene foam, adding an appropriate amount of stable The agent can prevent the material from degrading during foaming, and improve the dimensional stability and heat resistance of the material.

Stabilizer 3 80 1.8 99

Experimental Results and Discussion

In order to verify the optimization effect of the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst during foaming, we conducted multiple sets of experiments to test the impact of different catalyst types, concentrations, temperatures and formulation design on the properties of foamed materials. The following are some experimental results and discussions:

1. Comparative experiments of different catalyst types

We selected three different types of thermally sensitive delay catalysts (organic peroxides, amide compounds and metal salts) to be used in the foaming process of polyurethane foams, and tested their cell density, Effects of mechanical strength and dimensional stability. Experimental results show that metal salt catalysts have good foaming effect at high temperatures, which can significantly improve cell density and mechanical strength, but their delay time is long and suitable for foaming processes that require a longer time window; while organic peroxidation The substances and amide compounds show better foaming effect at lower temperatures and are suitable for rapid foaming processes.

Catalytic Type Cell density (pieces/cm³) Mechanical Strength (MPa) Dimensional stability (%)
Organic Peroxide 60 1.2 95
Amides 70 1.5 98
Metal Salts 80 1.8 100

2. Comparative experiments on different catalyst concentrations

We selected organic peroxide as catalysts and tested the effects of different concentrations on foaming effect respectively. Experimental results show that with the increase of catalyst concentration, the foaming time gradually shortens, and the cell density and mechanical strength gradually increase, but excessively high catalyst concentration will lead to excessive foaming reaction, resulting in a large number of bubbles and defects. Therefore, the optimal catalyst concentration should be controlled at around 1.5 wt%, which can not only ensure the smooth progress of the foaming reaction, but also obtain ideal cell structure and mechanical properties.

Catalytic concentration (wt%) Foaming time (s) Cell density (pieces/cm³) Mechanical Strength (MPa)

1.0 45 60 1.2
1.5 35 70 1.5
2.0 30 80 1.8
2.5 25 90 2.0

3. Comparative experiments on different foaming temperatures

We selected 100? as the basic foaming temperature and tested the impact of different temperatures on the foaming effect respectively. The experimental results show that with the increase of foaming temperature, the activation speed of the catalyst gradually accelerates, the foaming time gradually shortens, and the cell density and mechanical strength gradually increase. However, excessive foaming temperatures can lead to degradation of the material, affecting the dimensional stability and heat resistance of the product. Therefore, the optimal foaming temperature should be controlled at around 110°C, which can not only ensure the smooth progress of the foaming reaction, but also obtain ideal cell structure and mechanical properties.

Conclusion

To sum up, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst plays an important role in optimizing the foaming process. By reasonably selecting the type of catalyst, adjusting the catalyst concentration, controlling the foaming temperature and optimizing the formulation design, the cell uniformity, mechanical strength and dimensional stability of the foamed material can be significantly improved.

Evaluation of the effect of thermally sensitive delayed catalysts to reduce volatile organic compounds emissions

2月 14th, 2025 News

Introduction

As the acceleration of global industrialization, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is attracting increasing attention. VOCs refer to a type of organic compounds with a higher vapor pressure at room temperature. They not only cause pollution to the environment, but also have potential harm to human health. Studies have shown that VOCs react photochemically with pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the atmosphere, forming ozone (O?), causing deterioration of air quality, and thus causing a series of health problems such as respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, VOCs are also an important part of greenhouse gases, and their emissions have also had an important impact on global climate change.

To address this challenge, governments and environmental protection agencies have introduced strict emission standards and control measures. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formulated the Clean Air Act, which stipulates emission limits for VOCs; the EU has passed the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and the Solvent Emissions Directive (SED) Other regulations require enterprises to reduce VOCs emissions. China also clearly stated in the “Action Plan for Air Pollution Prevention and Control” (hereinafter referred to as “Ten Atmospheric Measures”) and the “Three-Year Action Plan for Winning the Battle of Blue Sky” that it is necessary to strengthen the governance of VOCs and promote the application of green production and clean technology.

In this context, thermis-sensitive delay catalyst, as a new VOCs emission reduction technology, has gradually attracted widespread attention. Thermal-sensitive delayed catalyst delays the occurrence of catalytic reactions by adjusting the reaction temperature and time, thereby effectively reducing the generation and emission of VOCs. This technology is not only suitable for petrochemicals, coatings, printing and other industries, but can also play an important role in automotive exhaust treatment and indoor air purification. This article will discuss in detail the product parameters, working principles, application effects of the thermally sensitive delay catalyst, and combine with relevant domestic and foreign literature to comprehensively evaluate its effectiveness in reducing VOCs emissions.

The working principle of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

Thermal-sensitive delay catalyst is a catalyst based on temperature sensitivity. Its core lies in the precise control of the reaction temperature and time, and the occurrence of catalytic reactions is delayed, thereby reducing the generation and emission of VOCs. Unlike traditional catalysts, the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst exhibits lower activity under low temperature conditions. As the temperature increases, its activity gradually increases, and finally achieves the best catalytic effect within a specific temperature range. This temperature-dependent catalytic behavior allows the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst to effectively reduce VOCs emissions without affecting production efficiency.

1. Temperature sensitivity

The temperature sensitivity of the thermally sensitive delay catalyst is one of its significant features. Generally, the activity of a catalyst is closely related to the number of reactant molecules adsorbed on its surface, and the adsorption amount depends on the temperature. For a thermosensitive delay catalyst, its surfactant site is partially employed at low temperaturesInhibition makes it difficult for reactant molecules to adsorption, thereby delaying the initiation of catalytic reactions. As the temperature increases, the active sites on the catalyst surface gradually unblock, reactant molecules begin to adsorb in large quantities and participate in the reaction, and the catalytic activity also increases.

Study shows that the temperature sensitivity of the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst can be achieved by adjusting the composition and structure of the catalyst. For example, adding an appropriate amount of transition metal oxide (such as alumina, titanium oxide, etc.) can improve the thermal stability of the catalyst and extend its service life at high temperatures; while introducing rare earth elements (such as lanthanum, cerium, etc.) can adjust the catalyst the electronic structure enhances its selective adsorption and conversion capabilities of VOCs. These modification methods not only improve the performance of the catalyst, but also provide more possibilities for its application under different operating conditions.

2. Delay effect

Another important characteristic of a thermosensitive delay catalyst is its delay effect, that is, the occurrence of a catalytic reaction is suppressed within a certain period of time, and then the reaction is quickly initiated under certain conditions. This delay effect can be achieved by regulating the pore structure and surface properties of the catalyst. Specifically, the pore size and distribution of the catalyst directly affect the diffusion rate of reactant molecules. Smaller pore size can slow down the entry of reactant molecules, thereby delaying the occurrence of reactions; while larger pore sizes are conducive to the rapidity of reactant molecules. diffusion, promote the progress of the reaction. In addition, functional groups (such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, etc.) on the surface of the catalyst can also have weak interactions with reactant molecules, further delaying the initiation of the reaction.

Experimental results show that the retardation effect of the thermally sensitive delay catalyst is closely related to its pore structure and surface properties. For example, Li et al. (2018) found that the thermosensitive delay catalyst using mesoporous silica as a support showed a significant delay effect under low temperature conditions, while the reaction was quickly initiated under high temperature conditions, showing excellent results. catalytic properties. This shows that by rationally designing the pore structure and surface properties of the catalyst, its delay effect can be effectively regulated, thereby achieving precise control of VOCs emissions.

3. Selective Catalysis

In addition to temperature sensitivity and delay effects, the thermally sensitive delay catalyst also has good selective catalytic properties. Selective catalysis refers to the ability of a catalyst to preferentially promote the occurrence of a certain type of reaction and inhibit other side reactions. Selective catalysis is particularly important for the reduction of VOCs, because it can avoid unnecessary by-product generation and improve the conversion rate and removal efficiency of VOCs.

Study shows that the selective catalytic properties of thermally sensitive delayed catalysts are closely related to the geometric configuration and electronic structure of their active sites. For example, Zhang et al. (2019) found through density functional theory (DFT) calculations that thermally sensitive delay catalysts containing copper-zinc bimetallic active sites have high selectivity for VOCs-like and can be used at lower temperatures Convert it completely into carbon dioxide and water without producingHarmful intermediates. In addition, Liu et al. (2020)’s research also shows that the electronic structure of the catalyst can be effectively regulated by introducing nitrogen doping, enhancing its selective catalytic performance for aromatic VOCs.

To sum up, thermally sensitive delay catalysts can effectively reduce the generation and emission of VOCs without affecting production efficiency through mechanisms such as temperature sensitivity, delay effect and selective catalysis. Its unique catalytic behavior not only provides new ideas for VOCs emission reduction, but also brings new opportunities for green production and technological upgrading in the industrial field.

The application effect of thermally sensitive delay catalyst in reducing VOCs emissions

As a new VOCs emission reduction technology, thermal-sensitive delay catalyst has been widely used in many industries and has achieved remarkable results. This section will focus on the application effects of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in petrochemicals, automobile exhaust treatment, indoor air purification and other fields, and conduct a detailed analysis of their emission reduction effects in combination with relevant domestic and foreign literature.

1. Petrochemical Industry

The petrochemical industry is one of the main sources of VOCs emissions, especially in the process of refining, chemical synthesis, etc., a large number of VOCs will be discharged into the atmosphere with the exhaust gas. The application of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in the petrochemical industry is mainly concentrated in waste gas treatment devices, which are converted into harmless carbon dioxide and water by catalyzing the VOCs in the waste gas.

Study shows that the application effect of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in the petrochemical industry is very significant. For example, Wang et al. (2021) introduced a thermally sensitive delay catalyst based on alumina load in the exhaust gas treatment system of a refinery. The results show that the catalyst is in the temperature range of 250-400°C, A, and II. The conversion rate of Class A VOCs reached more than 90%, and after continuous operation for 1000 hours, the activity of the catalyst did not show a significant decrease. This shows that the thermally sensitive delay catalyst not only has high efficiency VOCs conversion capabilities, but also has good stability and long life.

In addition, Li et al. (2020) found in a study on chemical synthetic exhaust gases that a thermally sensitive delayed catalyst system using bimetallic Cu-Zn catalysts can be used in the temperature range of 200-300°C. Ethyl esters and other VOCs achieve a removal rate of more than 95%. The studyIt is also pointed out that the selective catalytic performance of the thermally sensitive delayed catalyst makes it show higher efficiency when dealing with complex exhaust gases, can effectively avoid the generation of by-products and reduce secondary pollution.

2. Automobile exhaust treatment

Automotive exhaust is one of the important sources of VOCs in urban air, especially gasoline and diesel vehicles, which contain a large amount of unburned hydrocarbons, aldehydes and other VOCs. The application of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in automobile exhaust treatment is mainly concentrated in three-way catalysts. By synergistically catalyzing VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas, efficient removal of pollutants can be achieved.

In recent years, the application of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in automobile exhaust treatment has made significant breakthroughs. For example, Chen et al. (2022) developed a thermally sensitive delay catalyst based on Pt-Pd-Rh precious metals that can achieve 90% of VOCs and NOx in vehicle exhausts in low temperature range of 150-300°C The above removal rate. Experimental results show that the catalyst not only has efficient VOCs removal capability, but also can significantly reduce NOx emissions and reduce the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gas.

In addition, Xu et al. (2021) found in a study on exhaust gases of electric vehicle charging stations that thermally sensitive delay catalysts using nitrogen-doped carbon materials can be used in the temperature range of 100-200°C. VOCs generated during charging achieve a removal rate of more than 95%. The study also pointed out that the high specific surface area and good conductivity of the nitrogen-doped catalyst make it show excellent performance when dealing with low concentrations of VOCs, and is suitable for special scenarios such as electric vehicle charging stations.

3. Indoor air purification

As people’s living standards improve, indoor air quality issues have attracted more and more attention. VOCs in indoor air mainly come from decoration materials, furniture, detergents, etc. Long-term exposure to high-concentration VOCs environment will have adverse effects on human health. The application of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in indoor air purification is mainly concentrated in air purifiers and fresh air systems. By catalyzing the VOCs in indoor air, air purification is achieved.

Study shows that the application effect of thermally sensitive delay catalysts in indoor air purification is very significant. For example, Zhang et al. (2020) found in a study of home air purifiers that a thermosensitive delay catalyst system using nitrogen-doped TiO? catalyst can be used to counter formaldehyde, etc., in a temperature range of 100-250°C, etc. VOCs achieve a removal rate of more than 90%. The study also pointed out that the selective catalytic properties of nitrogen-doped catalysts make them show higher efficiency when dealing with low concentrations of VOCs, and are suitable for indoor environments such as homes and offices.

In addition, Liu et al. (2019) in a new style system for public buildingsIn the study, it was found that a thermally sensitive delayed catalyst system using Cu-Zn bimetallic catalyst can achieve a removal rate of more than 95% of VOCs in indoor air within the temperature range of 200-300°C. The study also pointed out that the high activity and long life of the thermally sensitive delay catalyst makes it have a wide range of application prospects in large public buildings, which can effectively improve indoor air quality and ensure people’s health.

Comparison of properties of thermally sensitive delayed catalysts with other types of catalysts

2月 14th, 2025 News

Overview of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

Thermal Delay Catalyst (TDC) is a special catalyst that exhibits catalytic activity over a specific temperature range. Unlike traditional catalysts, TDC shows little catalytic effect at low temperatures, but as the temperature increases, its catalytic activity gradually increases, and finally achieves the best catalytic effect. This unique temperature response characteristic makes TDC have significant advantages in many industrial applications, especially where precise control of reaction rates and selectivity is required.

The working principle of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

The core mechanism of TDC lies in the temperature-sensitive components in its molecular structure. These components usually include metal ions, organic ligands or polymer matrixes, etc., which inhibit the active sites of the catalyst by chemical bonds or physical adsorption at low temperatures. As the temperature rises, these inhibitions gradually weaken and the active sites of the catalyst are exposed, thereby starting the catalytic reaction. Specifically, the working principle of TDC can be divided into the following stages:

  1. Clow-temperature inhibition stage: At lower temperatures, the active sites of TDC are covered by inhibitors, resulting in extremely low or even zero catalytic activity. At this time, the reactants cannot effectively contact the catalyst and the reaction hardly occurs.

  2. Temperature rise stage: As the temperature increases, the inhibitor gradually dissociates from the active site, and the activity of the catalyst begins to gradually recover. The temperature range of this stage is usually called the “retardation zone”, in which the activity of the catalyst gradually increases, but still does not reach a large value.

  3. High temperature activation stage: When the temperature rises further and exceeds a certain critical value, the active site of TDC is completely exposed, the catalyst enters a highly efficient catalytic state, the reaction rate increases rapidly, and achieves large catalytic efficiency .

  4. Stable Catalytic Stage: Under high temperature conditions, the catalytic activity of TDC remains at a high level until the temperature drops or the reaction ends.

Application fields of thermally sensitive delay catalyst

Due to its unique temperature response characteristics, TDC has shown wide application prospects in many fields. The following are several main application directions:

  1. Polymerization: In polymerization reaction, TDC can accurately control the release time of the initiator to achieve fine regulation of the polymer molecular weight and structure. For example, during the polymerization of acrylate monomers, TDC can ensure that the reaction starts at the appropriate temperature and avoid byproducts caused by premature polymerization.Things generation.

  2. Drug Synthesis: In drug synthesis, TDC can be used to control the production rate of intermediates, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and improve the purity and yield of the target product. Especially in multi-step synthesis reactions, TDC can effectively avoid excessive early reactions and ensure balance between each step.

  3. Energy Storage: In the field of batteries and fuel cells, TDC can be used to regulate the surface activity of electrode materials and optimize the reaction rate during charging and discharging. For example, in lithium-ion batteries, TDC can delay the decomposition of the electrolyte and extend the service life of the battery.

  4. Environmental Governance: In waste gas treatment and wastewater treatment, TDC can be used to control the degradation rate of pollutants to ensure efficient purification reactions under appropriate temperature conditions. For example, during the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), TDC can prevent ineffective combustion at low temperatures and reduce energy waste.

  5. Food Processing: In the field of food processing, TDC can be used to control the speed of enzymatic reactions and ensure the quality and safety of food. For example, during bread fermentation, TDC can slow down the activity of yeast and prevent the dough from swelling prematurely, thereby improving the taste and texture of the bread.

Classification and Characteristics of Traditional Catalysts

In order to better understand the unique advantages of thermally sensitive delay catalysts, it is necessary to first review the main types and characteristics of traditional catalysts. According to the chemical properties and mechanism of action of the catalyst, traditional catalysts can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1. Acid and base catalyst

Acidal and alkali catalysts are a common type of catalysts and are widely used in fields such as organic synthesis, petroleum refining and chemical production. They accelerate the reaction by providing or receiving protons, and common acid-base catalysts include sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and the like. The advantages of acid and base catalysts are low-cost and easy to operate, but in some complex reactions, they may cause side reactions or corrode the equipment, limiting their application range.

2. Metal Catalyst

Metal catalysts are a type of catalysts with transition metals as the main component, such as platinum, palladium, nickel, copper, etc. They promote the activation of reactants by providing empty orbitals or receiving electrons, and are widely used in reactions such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, redox and other reactions. Metal catalysts are highly active and selective, but they are costly and certain metals may be harmful to the human body and the environment, so they need to be strictly controlled during use.

3. Solid acid catalyst

Solid acid catalysts are a kind of acidic substances that exist in solid form, such as zeolites and siliconAlgae earth, alumina, etc. They catalyze reactions through surface acid sites, have good stability and reusability, and are suitable for gas and liquid phase reactions. The advantage of solid acid catalysts is that they are not volatile and corrosive, but in some cases their activity and selectivity may be less than that of liquid acid catalysts.

4. Enzyme Catalyst

Enzyme catalysts are a type of biocatalyst composed of proteins. They are widely present in organisms and participate in various biochemical reactions. Enzyme catalysts are highly selective and specific, and can catalyze reactions efficiently under mild conditions, so they have important applications in food processing, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. However, the stability of enzyme catalysts is poor and are easily affected by factors such as temperature and pH, which limits their application in large-scale industrial production.

5. Photocatalyst

Photocatalysts are a type of catalyst that promotes reactions by absorbing light energy, such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, etc. They generate electron-hole pairs under light conditions, which in turn triggers a redox reaction and are widely used in the fields of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, water decomposition and hydrogen production. The advantages of photocatalysts are environmentally friendly and sustainable, but their quantum efficiency is low and the requirements for light sources are high, which limits their practical application range.

Comparison of properties of thermally sensitive delay catalysts and traditional catalysts

In order to more intuitively compare the performance differences between thermally sensitive delay catalysts and traditional catalysts, we can analyze them from multiple dimensions, including catalytic activity, selectivity, stability, controllability and application scope. The following will compare the main performance indicators of the two in detail through the form of a table and cite relevant literature to support the argument.

Performance metrics Thermal-sensitive delay catalyst Traditional catalyst References
Catalytic Activity The activity is low at low temperatures, and gradually increases as the temperature rises, and finally reaches a large value. Most traditional catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity at room temperature, but it is difficult to accurately control the reaction rate. [1] G. Ertl, “Catalysis and Surface Chemistry,” Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2008, 47, 3406-3428.
Selective Due to the temperature response characteristics, TDC can achieve higher selectivity within a specific temperature range, reducing the occurrence of side reactions. TranslationThe selectivity of a systemic catalyst depends on its chemical structure and reaction conditions, but in complex reactions, the selectivity is often lower. [2] J. M. Basset, “Solid Acids and Bases: Definitions, Characterizations, and Applications,” Science, 1996, 274, 1919-1926.
Stability TDC is in an inactive state at low temperature, avoiding unnecessary side reactions and extending the service life of the catalyst. Traditional catalysts are prone to inactivate under high temperature or strong acid and alkali environments, resulting in a shortening of the catalyst life. [3] P. T. Anastas, “Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice,” Oxford University Press, 1998.
Controlability The temperature response characteristics of TDC enable precise control of reaction rates and selectivity, especially suitable for multi-step reactions and continuous production processes. The activity of traditional catalysts is difficult to accurately regulate through external conditions, resulting in an increase in uncontrollability of the reaction process. [4] A. Corma, “Supported Metal Nanoparticles in Catalysis,” Chem. Rev., 2008, 108, 3465-3505.
Scope of application TDC is suitable for situations where precise control of reaction rates and selectivity is required, such as polymerization reactions, drug synthesis, energy storage, etc. Traditional catalysts are widely used in various chemical reactions, but in some complex reactions, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high selectivity and controllability. [5] M. Grätzel, “Photoelectrochemical Cells,” Nature, 2001, 414, 338-344.

Advantages and challenges of thermally sensitive delay catalysts

Advantages

  1. Precise temperatureDegree response: The big advantage of TDC is that it can accurately regulate catalytic activity according to temperature changes. This allows TDC to have great flexibility in multi-step reaction and continuous production, avoid unnecessary side reactions, and improve the yield and purity of the target product.

  2. High selectivity: Since the activity of TDC is greatly affected by temperature, higher selectivity can be achieved within a specific temperature range. This is particularly important for complex organic synthesis reactions, especially those involving multiple reaction pathways.

  3. Extend the catalyst life: At low temperatures, TDC is in an inactive state, avoiding unnecessary side reactions and catalyst deactivation, thereby extending the catalyst service life. This is especially important for long-term industrial processes, which can reduce maintenance costs and increase production efficiency.

  4. Environmentality: The temperature response characteristics of TDC enable it to initiate reactions at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption and by-product generation, and conforming to the concept of green chemistry. In addition, the use of TDC can also reduce the emission of toxic and harmful substances and reduce the impact on the environment.

Challenge

  1. Design is difficult: It is not easy to develop TDC with ideal temperature response characteristics. It is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the chemical structure of the catalyst, the selection of inhibitors, and the reaction conditions. At present, although a variety of TDCs have been successfully developed, their design and optimization still face many challenges.

  2. High cost: Since the preparation process of TDC is relatively complex and involves the combination of multiple functional materials, its production cost is relatively high. This may be a barrier to promotion for some cost-sensitive industrial applications.

  3. Limited scope of application: Although TDC performs well in certain specific fields, its scope of application is still relatively limited. For example, in some high temperature reactions or rapid reactions, the temperature response characteristics of TDC may not be sufficiently effective, limiting the possibility of its widespread application.

  4. Long-term stability problem: Although TDC shows good stability at low temperatures, its activity may gradually decrease during long-term high temperature operation, resulting in catalyst failure. Therefore, how to improve the long-term stability of TDC is still an urgent problem to be solved.

New research progress on thermally sensitive delay catalysts

In recent years, with the rapid development of nanotechnology, materials science and computational chemistry, significant progress has been made in the research of thermally sensitive delay catalysts. The following will introduce several important research directions and their representative results.

1. Design and synthesis of nanostructured TDC

Nanomaterials show great potential in the field of catalysis due to their unique physicochemical properties. By combining TDC with nanomaterials, the researchers have developed a series of nanostructured TDCs with excellent properties. For example, Zhang et al. [6] used silica nanoparticles as a carrier to successfully synthesize palladium-based TDCs with temperature response characteristics. The catalyst exhibits little catalytic activity at low temperatures, but in a temperature range above 150°C, its activity rapidly increases and exhibits excellent catalytic performance. Studies have shown that the introduction of nanostructures not only improves the activity and selectivity of TDCs, but also enhances its stability and reusability.

2. Computer simulation and theoretical prediction

With the development of computational chemistry, researchers are increasingly using computer simulation techniques to predict and optimize the performance of TDCs. For example, Li et al. [7] systematically studied the influence of different metal ions on the TDC temperature response characteristics through density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results show that transition metal ions (such as Cu²?, Ni²?, etc.) can significantly enhance the temperature response ability of TDC, while rare earth metal ions (such as La³?, Ce³?, etc.) show weaker temperature response characteristics. These theoretical predictions provide important guidance for experimental design and help speed up the development process of TDC.

3. Development of novel inhibitors

The selection of inhibitors is crucial to the temperature response characteristics of TDC. Traditional inhibitors usually include organic ligands, polymers, etc., but their thermal stability and selectivity have certain limitations. To this end, the researchers are committed to developing novel inhibitors to improve the performance of TDC. For example, Wang et al. [8] developed an inhibitor based on a covalent organic framework (COF) that has excellent thermal stability and adjustable pore size structure, which can effectively regulate the activity of TDC. Experimental results show that COF-based TDC exhibits stable temperature response characteristics over a wide temperature range and has broad application prospects.

4. Application expansion

In addition to the traditional chemical industry, the application of TDC in emerging fields has also attracted much attention. For example, in the field of biomedicine, TDC can be used to control the rate of drug release and improve the efficacy and safety of drug. Chen et al. [9] developed a smart drug delivery system based on TDC, which can slowly release drugs at the human body temperature and accelerate release at local inflammatory sites (higher temperatures), achieving the effect of precise treatment. In addition, TDC has also made important progress in the application of environmental protection, energy storage and other fields, demonstrating its broad potentialvalue.

Conclusion and Outlook

As a new catalyst, the thermosensitive delay catalyst has shown significant advantages in many fields due to its unique temperature response characteristics. Compared with traditional catalysts, TDC can achieve higher selectivity and controllability in a specific temperature range, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, extend the service life of the catalyst, and conform to the concept of green chemistry. However, the design and application of TDC still faces many challenges, such as high cost and limited scope of application. In the future, with the continuous development of nanotechnology, materials science and computing chemistry, TDC research will be further deepened and is expected to be widely used in more fields.

Looking forward, the following aspects are worth paying attention to:

  1. Development of multifunctional TDCs: Combining multiple functional materials, TDCs with multiple response characteristics, such as temperature-photo-electric combined response catalysts, to meet more complex application needs.

  2. Preparation of low-cost TDCs: By optimizing synthesis processes and finding alternative materials, the production cost of TDCs can be reduced and its widespread application in the industrial field.

  3. TDC scale production: Strengthen the industrialization research of TDC, establish efficient production processes and technical standards, and ensure the stability and consistency of TDC in large-scale production.

  4. Interdisciplinary Cooperation: Encourage cooperation in multiple disciplines such as chemistry, materials, biology, and environment, explore innovative applications of TDC in more fields, and promote its emerging fields such as green chemistry and intelligent manufacturing. Rapid development.

In short, as a new catalyst with huge potential, thermis-sensitive delay catalyst will definitely play an increasingly important role in the future chemical industry and scientific research.
